Take a long look at the photo above of the new car from the front...
Focus on the raised bulky sidepod(s)
Now imagine Simonas fire last season.... And picture the safety crew attempting to extract a racer
Maybe it's just me but that appears to be a major safety concern
I think that they are only raised towards the rear, around the wheels so they should be able to get to the driver if they need to.
Your correct ...
The more I see different angles etc. of this car, the less I like it (and I have not been much of a fan before).... The sidepods are just plain UGLY and awkward looking.... The airbox is huge and ungainly - especially in a turbo. The rest seems very workable - I think it'll look better with speedway wings but the airbox and sidepods really need to go....
Unfortunately, as someone earlier said - this is probably pretty much it..... I'd say the Indycar dog is running scared right now....
You insult the club racer!! :D That silver thing isn't half bad looking.....Quote:

It's less butt-ugly from this angle...

Just saw this on IndyCar's youtube channel. The car looks relatively sleek to me, and in these short shots it looks pretty agile and quick. Still a bit too long/wide for my taste, and the side angle isn't particularly appealing, but this new footage actually improved my opinion of it. You know, for all the crap everyone says, the new car does look better than the old one. That's at least something...

Redfern wins in Zip Formula Hmmmmmm, now we know the source of the inspiration for this pile of poop.
The current car is really only really bad at the front of the cockpit and the nose is a bit pointy - this thing is bad everywhere else....Quote:
